A long shot: on Saturday, a rather large UAV could be seen in one of the two smaller hangars on the north side. In the left hangar were the Blades and the Royal Jordanian Falcons, in the right one (with fences in front) was a UAV that looked a bit like a RQ-4 Global Hawk. Does anyone have any info on that? Was it real, or was it a mock-up, for instance?

And another one: which Chinook was visible behind the Frecce Tricolori on saturday? There was only one there, but apparently two had arrived.

I do have a picture with both of them on it. One of the Chinooks was hangared on Fridaynight to be towed into position during Saterdaymorning (like the T346)

ZD983 was not seen today (departures). Did it leave earlier this weekend or is it still at FFD?

To answer my own question: it WAS a RQ-4, and it WAS a mock-up (as was to be expected)...

Where was the visiting SR.22 from FAF parked saturday? Between the other civil props at north?
Also a visiting Bulldog could be seen near the 2 Tucanos and Grob115s.

Is there a complete list available from the 20th including the TBM700 (left early on the 20th) and P180 from Italy?

Kind regards,

Henri
